Dissolved inorganic carbon, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the KNORR in the South Pacific Ocean from 1992-09-01 to 1992-09-15 (NCEI Accession 0115700)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from KNORR in the South Pacific Ocean from 1992-09-01 to 1992-09-15 and retrieved during cruise PACIFICA_316N19920901 and WOCE_P14C. These data include CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DELTA CARBON-13, DELTA CARBON-14, DELTA HELIUM-3, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HELIUM, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NEON, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, Tritium (Hydrogen isotope), WATER DENSITY and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Linda S. Bingler of Battelle Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL), Robert M. Key of Princeton University; Department of Geosciences; Program in Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences (AOS), Dean Roemmich of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), Mark J. Warner of University of Washington (UW), and William J. Jenkins of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) as part of the WOCE_P14C, PACIFICA_316N19920901 dataset.

PACIFICA (PACIFic ocean Interior CArbon) was an international collaborative project for the data synthesis of ocean interior carbon and its related parameters in the Pacific Ocean. The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), Section of Carbon and Climate (S-CC) supported the project.
